Thread: Binder Lake 7-10

very nice fish , where is binder located ?

Jefferson City, it is a parks n rec lake about 155 acres. Looks like a little Lake Fork. Has all the good features for bass fishing, can be very hit and miss but there are defiantly some hogs swimming around. If I had to pick one lake for the next state record bass it would be Binder. Few years ago I hooked one that instantly doubled my rod and moved my boat, like to think it was a bass bc I was flipping in very shallow lily pads. Heard a tale that the conservation shocked it twice a long time ago and found a state record both times but his could of been a rumor so idk. I do know my best day out there I had about 27lbs on 5 bass.

I lived in Jefferson city 9-10 years ago and binder was a good crappie lake when the weather was cold. Use to catch a lot of nice crappie out of there.

Congrats on the catch.......

Yes there is good crappie to be had sometimes most are smaller I believe but there are some nice ones, lot of blacks. I do not crappie fish Binder very often but the first tree line out from Rainbow Dr. is a good bet in the spring when the water is in the mid 50's. Prob is there is not a lot of bait fish besides shad so the crappie are limited on forage. There is a ton of gizzard shad and they are big.

Wow, nice one. Congrats
